I was looking at your signature, which shows 715 miles to empty and 30.4 MPG. This doesn't add up, unless you have a 23 gallon tank? I got 30.6 on my last tank, and my distance to empty is around 485. What is the story? Is there a larger tank on the 2005-2007 model? When I took that picture I was expecting to get higher MTE readings in the future, but the heat of the summer had set in and the Aux battery A/C started to run the compressor all the time. After about 25,000 miles on my FEH I started noticing a slow decrease in the HV battery efficiency. I also had some problems with some relays that had to be replaced that cause my KAM to reset the Long Term Fuel Maps. Now Florida has passed a law requiring E-10 (ethanol) to be in all gas in the State. Most likely I will never see that high of a MTE again in my '05 FEH unless I move to a place with rolling hills. With the new improvements in the '09 FWD FEH, I'm hoping to get back to 50mpg tanks after break-in, even with ethanol. GaryG |

You're the man who took my FEH to >60mpg at the MPG Challenge last summer, & that was on E-10 gas :) :) I *know* once your FEH is used to sipping E-10, you'll get your 50mpg tanks back - I finally topped 50mpg on a tank the month *before* I learned Dan's DGE technique, & I'm working on another one now :) :) :) Most likely I will never see that high of a MTE again in my '05 FEH unless I move to a place with rolling hills.

GaryG, can you put in a link to Dan's new technique? He's rather prolific on that site and I don't have time to search through his post.
TIA. |

I'm on my 5th tank and I see nothing but bad with ethanol and the FEH Atkinson cycle. No question now that your rolling hills was what helped me with E-10 in the MPG Challenge. I've had a big advantage with straight gas here in Florida, but flat roads and E-10 are a brutal on my mileage now. Dan's technique helps overcome the loss of energy by maintaining a constant speed on flat roads. Good luck in the MPG Challenge this year Debbie and I want you to beat my record with Dan's new technique and the rest of your skills. The '09 FEH/MMH should be hard to beat next year, but I have no plans to drive all the way to Madison during Hurricane season. GaryG |

The truth is we have a serious economic problem caused by big oil. What is your solution? My solution is to help people survive this rip off of the American public by Big Oil. GaryG |
